RE: copy-of / value-of

I think you want:

  <xsl:if test="zusatztext">
    <xsl:copy-of select="zusatztext/child::node()" /><BR />
  </xsl:if>

which will copy the <br/> element to the HTML output

Hello,

I guess you mean 6.5.2...


Correct. Just a typo.

In my XML for that, I want to be able to add a tag <special> like:

<special>
  Some text here as line 1<br/>
  Some text here as line 2
</special>

But when I use this with value-of, the result is:

Some text here as line 1 Some text here as line 2
(without the tag in the middle.)

I also tried copy-of which is better, but copies also the

XML tags.


All I want to do is to be able to add a tag to my XML

file which may

include HTML tags. How can I do this?


I don't understand: you seem to be making a distinction

between "XML

tags" and "HTML tags" in your XML file. How are they distinguished?


Well, my english is not so good, so I try again another 
explaination of my
problem:

I want to create three different HTML file using XML/XSLT. 
They have the same content but very different layouts (one 
"normal", one for PDA and one for printing). The XML file is 
a file programm.xml
(http://www.etes.de/files/programm.xml):

--- snip ---
<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<programm>
  <zeitraum>September - Oktober 2002</zeitraum>
  <veranstaltungen>

    <termin>
      <datum>Sa, 14.9.</datum>
      <url>http://www.deutsches-museum.de/</url>
      <titel>Besuch des Deutschen Museums in München</titel>
      <starttext>ganztätig</starttext>
      <zusatztext>
        mit von Kepler-SeminaristInnen geleiteten Führungen 
in der Abteilung Pharmazie<br/>
        Teilnahme nur nach Rücksprache und Anmeldung
      </zusatztext>
    </termin>

    <termin>
      ...
    </termin>
    ...
  </veranstaltungen>
</programm>
--- snap ---

You can see the <zusatztext> tag here (tag names are German - 
soory :-). It contains a tag <br> which should appear in the 
final HTML code. The XSLT file for conversion is for example 
programm-html.xsl. 
(http://www.etes.de/files/programm-html.xsl;  It produces a 
part of an HTML file which is included in a bigger template.)

--- snip ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

  <xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1" />
  <xsl:template match="/">

<CENTER>

<P><FONT size="+2">Kepler-Seminar für 
Naturwissenschaften</FONT></P> [...]

<xsl:for-each select="programm/veranstaltungen/termin">
[...]
  <xsl:if test="zusatztext">
    <xsl:value-of select="zusatztext" /><BR />
  </xsl:if>
[...]
</xsl:for-each>

</CENTER>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
--- snap ---

Here you can see the usage of thex "zusatztext".

The problem with the example above is that I get here for 
value-of as shown
above:

        mit von Kepler-SeminaristInnen geleiteten Führungen 
in der Abteilung Pharmazie
        Teilnahme nur nach Rücksprache und Anmeldung

and not the wanted:
 
        mit von Kepler-SeminaristInnen geleiteten Führungen 
in der Abteilung Pharmazie<br>
        Teilnahme nur nach Rücksprache und Anmeldung

Can you give an example of the input and output of your 
transformation.

  http://www.etes.de/files/programm.xml
  http://www.etes.de/files/programm-html.xsl


Perhaps a way to get a solution:
How would I have to write down special characters like < in 
the XML code above?


Thanks,
Jan
